Task TO-G-026 was established to identify possible spectrum allocations to support the Scalable TrafficManagement for Emergency Response Operations (STEReO) Project’s approach of applying UnmannedAircraft Systems (UAS) Traffic Management (UTM) concepts to the management of disaster response.Both large and small unmanned aircraft have been found to provide significant benefits in disasterresponse. However, application of unmanned aircraft is limited by the difficulty in managing disaster areaairspace. UTM concepts can greatly increase the ability to safely apply UAS to many disaster responserequirements. The use of UAS requires communication links to provide command and control, telemetry,delivery of mission payload data, and situational awareness/navigation functionality to enable safeoperations. The outcome of Task TO-G-026 research provides guidance in identifying appropriatepotential spectrum bands required to support STEReO disaster response operations. This report presentsthese research results. |
